History
Background
Doris Zeul and her friend Leslie Willis are bullies at school, and they enjoy making other people suffer, either physically or emotionally. Such is the case of Doris, who uses people physically inferior to her like Karen or Garth, or the case of Leslie, who shares gossip and heavy pranks on her social networks.
She Might Be Giant
Doris and Leslie bullying Karen and lead her to the locker room, where she locks Karen in the lockers. Tired of always being teased by Doris, Karen decides to upgrade her Bumblebee armor; meanwhile, Doris is at her house exercising while she was talking to Leslie, when suddenly the weights she was lifting fall on top of her. Since she was losing strength and to boost the effects of her weightlifting, Doris injects herself with a serum stolen from her parents' lab. When she goes to the mall to buy weights, the salesman shows her some small weights; which makes Doris think that he was making fun of her, enraging her and turning into Giganta for the first time. Diana, Kara and Babs, who by casuality happened to be at the mall helping Karen find upgrades to fix her armor, they fight against Giganta, but she easily defeats them. Karen manages to repair her armor, but the growth function enhancements malfunction again; so Giganta tries to crush Bumblebee with her hand. But because she was too big and Bumblebee was small as a insect, Bumblebee uses her tiny size to harass Giganta and trick her into knocking herself out. The next day at school, Doris (who wants to continue her routine of bullying Karen) she throws her football ball at Karen, who surprisingly catches it. Doris tells Karen to return her ball, but she shows off new confidence in standing up to Doris, even to call her "meathead", which makes Doris angry and runs after Karen all over the field.
Joining the Super Villain Girls
Doris and Leslie befriends Selina along with Carol and Pam. She and the other four girls convince Harleen to join them, and so, they've formed a villain team and they vandalize the city by stealing jewels, causing chaos and fear, and destroying buildings and properties of the city.
Soul Sisters
Katana snatches Giganta's soul, causing her inner body to fall on Jessica's van, destroying it. And along with the rest of the Super Villain Girls, she is taken to Babs' house, until her soul is returned to her after Katana realizes that being a hero doesn't mean taking someone's soul away.
World's Finest
Giganta made a deal with Max Lord to be recognized as a great villain and thus become famous. But her ravages were thwarted by Batgirl and Supergirl, and Max Lord reneged on her part of her deal, so she kidnapped him to the Daily Planet to throw him off the roof. And then the duo of heroines go to stop Giganta; but when they find out that she had a deal with Max that he didn't keep, Batgirl and Supergirl decide to make a deal with Giganta to give her the recognition that Max Lord couldn't do it; letting her decide if she does it for the hard part or the fun part. Giganta opts for the second option and, with the help of the two heroines, she destroys the statue of Moofy the mole, the pet of Metropolis, and is recognized as a villain.
Mayhem in the Multiverse
Giganta appears along with the Super Villain Girls during a fight against the Super Hero Girls on top of a moving train. She was encased in a magic bubble by Zatanna, but she is thrown off the train by Harley Quinn. Giganta kept fighting until she was tied up along with the other villains. Suddenly, the team was teleported and rescued by Lex Luthor for join to the Legion of Doom alongside him and other villains. It's then that Lex tells his team that he has the power to get rid of the superheroes by using the Amulet of Cythonna to lock them in the Phantom Zone. Giganta, along with Cheetah and Toyman, wreak havoc at the Metropolis Fair to lure Flash and Green Arrow, where she confronted them and locked both heroes in the Phantom Zone.
A little later, the Legion locked almost the entire Justice League in the Phantom Zone, where Riddler and Star Sapphire locked John Stewart and Aquaman there. She along with the Super Villain Girls corner Wonder Woman, but Harley Quinn lunges at her only to secretly help her escape from the Hall of Doom. After that, Giganta along with the Legion was controlled by Cythonna, and they fought against the superheroes. Again she was imprisoned by Zatanna in the magic bubble, but Luthor tries to attack Zatanna and is stopped by a reformed Harley, who returned to help the heroes. At the end, she appears tied up along with the rest of the villains, which were left out of the control of the evil Kryptonian goddess.
